Thermal storage, specifically ice storage, is not only an easy way to store energy but it is reemerging as a valuable energy and energy cost saving technology for building owners. This presentation provides a bit of theory and application, then demonstrates the design steps for a small ice storage system from layout to operation and control. Presenters discuss how to make it affordable, expose hidden costs that may raise ROI, and identify and address the most common stumbling blocks.
